Trump said he was not concerned about critics’ suggestions that giving Kim a meeting is a win for North Korea.

“No, no, no, no, that’s only the fake news says that. Look, we just got three hostages back. We paid nothing. They came back, they’re happily ensconced in their homes with their families, they’re the happiest people in the world right now.”

The U.S. leader described the summit as a “one-time shot” for Kim, adding he expects the conversation with North Korea to last for more than just one meeting.
